Mr. Chairman, I am not entirely sure what the Member is referring to. A lot of the preliminary work on the Health and Social Services system was done, as I understand it, within Health and Social Services itself and in consultation with their consultants. It was fairly late on in the exercise that discussions took place between Public Works and Services and Health and Social Services on the integration of that equipment into the data centre. During the course of those discussions, Health and Social Services requested that Public Works and Services put the order together and go through the procurement process. That's essentially how it developed and how we handled it. We went and began discussions with Hewlett Packard and eventually put the order in and awarded a contract.
